Russia is conducting a clean-up operation in the Kerch Strait following an oil spill from two storm-damaged tankers in December, which released 3,700 tonnes of fuel oil. The incident, which resulted in one death, has significant implications for the region, a crucial shipping route and a conflict zone between Russia and Ukraine. Over 418.7 km of coastline has been cleared, costing approximately €913 million. Russian officials have labeled the spill an ecological disaster, with calls for sanctions from Ukrainian officials.
